[I'd had the action a few weeks back to send these pointers to the list, but my
msg bounced, Ken Yagen subsequently fwd'd it to the list (on 9-Sep, entitled
"FW: [Fwd: glossary stuff]"), but the msg and it's contents sorta got "buried"
and so I s'pect folks basically missed it. Here's an effort to summarize and
followup. ]
The SAML/xacml glossary doc is here..
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/security/docs/draft-sstc-glossary-01.pdf
A msg to the XACML list defining "meta-policy", "conflict", "conflict
resolution", et al, along with rationale & references for the definitions and
usage of those terms..
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200107/msg00073.html
In addition, folks should take a look at the references section of the
SAML/xacml glossary doc, as additional sources are identified. Readily available
and nominally relevant ones are..
